✦ Synopsis

Recent results of analyses investigating the production of tau leptons in ep collisions at HERA are reviewed. In total, four different types of analyses are presented: the production of τ + τ -pairs, the production of single, isolated tau leptons in events with large missing transverse momentum (in addition to that resulting from the tau decay); plus two searches for specific new phenomena -for doubly charged Higgs bosons with subsequent decay H ++ → e + τ + and for tau leptons produced in lepton flavor violating processes ep → τ X.
